THE UPDATE

The second run of the Olympic women’s giant slalom was post-poned Wednesday due to dense fog and rescheduled for today.

The first leg was held in heavy snow and low visibility. Organizers attempted to get the second run in by shortening the course and delay-ing the start several times. But the fog only got worse, slowly creeping down the mountain and making it

nearly impossible to see.Vail native Sarah Schleper had the

best run for the American woman, 14th overall. Lindsey Vonn did-not-finish, which has been the outcome of most of her GS races this season,

Valley nonprofits receive $46,000 in grantsIn 2008, the Valley Salvation Army

served 1,868 residents in need, a number that nearly tripled to 2,963 in the year 2009, said Executive Director Tsu Wolin Brown.

Wolin-Brown joined Karen Koen-emann of Red Ribbon Project, Sheri Mintz of Bright Future Foundation, Pam Melot of Miller Ranch Child Care Cen-

ter, Susie Davis of the Youth Foundation and Kathy Brendza of New American School, at Gallegos Construction in Wolcott, where Colorado Springs-based El Pomar Foundation awarded the vari-ous Valley non-profits with $46,000 in grants yesterday.

El Pomar gave $31,000 to the Bright Future Foundation, which helps victims of domestic violence become self-suffi-cient. The group also gave $5,000 each to Food Rescue Express, The Vail Salva-

tion Army and Red Ribbon Project.“This is a once-a-year gift just to say

thank you and leverage it, by all means, in any way you can,” El Pomar board member Elaine Kelton said as the checks were presented. “I wish we could quin-tuple what we are able to do.”

The gathering provided a rare oppor-tunity for each of the charity representa-tives to air their vision, hope and fear for the future of the valley’s needy. “We’re

Governor Ritter signs ‘Twinkie Tax’

when he signed a package of bills tax-ing everything from candy and soda to online sales on Wednesday to help close a $1.5 billion shortfall in next year’s $18 billion budget.

The new laws are expected to raise about $148 million over the next two years. “Signing these bills was not something I wanted to do, but it was something that was necessary in order to keep the budget balanced and to contin-ue positioning Colorado for a strong and healthy recovery,” said Ritter.

Habitat dedicates 2 more homes

When you dedicate homes by the dozen, like the local Habitat for Hu-manity affiliate, you establish a few traditions.

Habitat for Humanity of Eagle and Lake Counties yesterday hand-ed the keys to their 26th and 27th Fox Hollow homes to their two new partner homeowners, the Amaya and Castillo families.

“This is a dream come true,” said Ada Amaya. “I never thought that I would have the opportunity to buy my own home to better the lives of my children. I use to think it was not possible, but now I know it is true.”

The Amaya and Castillo families cut the ribbons and invited every-one inside, another tradition.

The families received keys, real and ceremonials. The real keys open the front doors. The ceremo-nial keys symbolically unlock a life of hope, opportunity and love.

Bible are part of the package, along with other gifts from Habi-tat supporters, including handmade quilts from the Eagle River Pres-byterian Church quilters. Every new partner family gets most of the same gifts. If something works, you stick with it.

Then those adorable children handed their gifts to the Habitat vol-unteers, and if there were dry eyes in the house, they were lying eyes.

Father Brookes Keith asked God’s blessing on the. During con-struction, volunteer crews some-

times open work days with prayer, and often write notes or blessings on wall studs or floors. The theory is that when something is hemmed in prayer, it’s less likely to come un-raveled.

“The Bible says that people build houses, but only God can build a home,” Keith said. “You’ve been building a house. Today God begins building a home.”

The two families have six chil-dren between them, and that makes almost 100 kids the local Habitat group has helped house in Fox Hol-low. You should hear the laughter ring off the surrounding hillsides.

This is their first opportunity to own a home, and if you ever pur-chased a home yourself, you know what it felt like; taking on a mort-gage and the fears and pride asso-ciated with that,” said Stacey Nib-belink, vice president of the board of directors for Habitat for Human-ity of Eagle & Lake Counties.

Habitat families can now focus more on thriving than surviving, said Kristi Moon, with the local Habitat affiliate.

Building Company helped coor-dinate building the latest duplex in Habitat’s Fox Hollow site in Ed-wards. Many other subcontractors and volunteer groups contributed to the building process, and the fami-lies themselves worked hundreds of hours to help construct their new homes.

Habitat puts together donations of money, materials and volunteer labor to build homes. Those homes are sold to partner families that earn

between 25 percent and 60 percent of the area median income.

The partner families work 750 hours, building sweat equity before they start making mortgage pay-ments.

Families make a small down pay-ment and pay monthly mortgage payments on a zero interest mort-gage.

mortgage payment revolves back through the organization and funds construction of the next house, and the next, until you’re at 27 and run-ning strong.

Habitat’s goal is to not sim-ply build homes, but to build and strengthen lives and communities,” Moon said. “We offer people a hand up, not a hand out, by giving them the tools they need to succeed.”

Founded in 1995, Habitat for Hu-manity of Eagle and Lake Counties builds simple, decent, affordable homes in partnership with local families in need.

By the end of the Fox Hollow home project, they’ll have complet-ed 35 homes:,housing 35 families and more than 100 children.

Habitat for Humanity of Eagle and Lake Counties is one of 31 affiliates in Colorado, and part of a global or-ganization serving 3,000 communi-ties in nearly 90 countries.

Since it was founded in 1976, Habitat International has built more than 300,000 houses worldwide, providing simple, decent and af-fordable shelter for more than 1.5 million people.

Thursday, February 25, 2010 Vail Mountaineer 3

World renowned adventurer Jeff Evans will speak tonight on his ex-periences as one of the country’s most respected mountaineering guides.

Evans appearance is part four of the Vail Symposium’s Unlimited Adventure Series, which began sev-en years ago in partnership with the Vail Public Library.

The series seeks to bring men and women of all athletic talents and experience to share their lives lived on the edge.

“One of the reasons we reached out to Jeff is because of Michael Brown, who did the movie ‘Farther than the Eye Can See,’” said VS Executive Director Carrie Marsh. “I approached Michael and said ‘Who

does the Vail Symposium Unlim-ited Adventure Series need to hear from?’ and he said Jeff Evans. That says a lot because Michael Brown has a huge following…so that’s neat that he had such a glowing rec-ommendation.”

Evans most well-known experi-ences as a guide began in the early 1990s when he and a then unknown blind climber named Erik Weihen-mayer tackled ascents for the dis-abled.

Since then, the pair have climbed Mt. McKinley, El Capitan, Lean-ing Tower, Aconcagua, culminat-ing with a successful summit of Mt Everest in 2001, which captured the world’s attention.

Evans has since made a career as a motivational speaker through his company MountainVisionInc.

“(Evans) has told me ‘I’m asked

to guide Everest every year , but when you have a four-year-old son, there’s only so much risk you can take,’” said Marsh. “He’s taken all his experience on the mountain as a source of inspiration and motivation in the corporate world, which is an interesting way to use adventure.”

Mountain Vision with Jeff Evans begins at 6 p.m. tonight at the Don-ovan Pavilion. Admission is free.

After the presentation, head over to the Tap Room in Vail Village for an exclusive after party with Evans. Five bucks gets you beer, food and entrance into a prize drawing.

Next up in the Unlimited Adven-ture Series is Treasure Hunting with sports commentator and Travel Channel TV host Kirsten Gum, at 6 p.m. Thursday, March 4, also at the Pavilion.

Cyclist LeMond objects to Yellowstone Club deal

ATHLETIC STUFF

A U.S. bankruptcy judge is halting the new owners of the Yellowstone Club from buying a key piece of prop-erty within the exclusive ski resort, a move that likely sits well with cyclist Greg Lemond.

LeMond, one of the club’s original members, had ob-jected to the deal. His family holds a $13.5 million lien on the Montana property. His attorneys say the sale is being rushed through without giving others a chance to make an offer.

CrossHarbor Capital Partners of Boston bought the resort last year for $115 million. The sale didn’t include a 160-acre compound owned by the club’s bankrupt former owner, Edra Blixseth.

That property was once valued at $56 million. But in October, CrossHarbor reached a tentative deal to buy it for $8.5 million.

In a ruling Monday ruling, Judge Ralph Kirscher said Blixseth’s trustee must seek better offers.

The goaltending couldn’t haven’t been better in the U.S. defeat of much-hyped Canada. The timing couldn’t be more perfect, either.

Now, the latest hockey team to capture the American public imagination’s needs only to write a happy end-ing to this success story in the making, just like the 1960 and 1980 teams did.

Winning the game they supposedly couldn’t against a virtual NHL all-star team that Canadians believed was ordained for gold, the Americans’ unexpected 5-3 vic-tory Sunday advanced them to Wednesday’s quarterfi-nals as the top-seeded team.

This game wasn’t for a medal. Canada wasn’t elimi-nated; the Americans are assured of nothing but a bye before they play the Switzerland-Belarus winner. Even so, this was a magical moment for U.S. hockey that, at least in the Olympics, hasn’t been matched since the Miracle on Ice in 1980.

“You just can’t beat it. It was fun,” Paul Stastny said. “It was a once-in-a-lifetime atmosphere.”

Fittingly, Monday is the 30th anniversary of the Unit-ed States’ monumental upset against the Soviet Union’s supposedly unbeatable all-world team in Lake Placid.

A gold medal by the Americans in the Vancouver Games wouldn’t be nearly as improbable but, only a week ago, the United States was widely considered to be at a level below the Canadians, Russians and Swedes. That was before the Americans won all three round-robin games in regulation.

“We’ve come a long way and coming into this tour-nament we were probably considered underdogs, but we have a good team and a good mix of players,” for-

ward Patrick Kane said.As so often happens in Olympics, the teams that mesh

the fastest often are those that advance the furthest. The four U.S. goals Sunday came from their most-experi-enced players: Brian Rafalski scored twice and Jamie Langenbrunner and Chris Drury also had goals.

“Hopefully it provides the confidence we need to keep moving forward but emotionally we need to make sure we are not going to get too high,” goalie Ryan Miller said after making 42 saves, not all of them easy.

While the talent-packed Canadians are frantically searching for a linemate to go with Sidney Crosby and Rick Nash, the Americans already seem to be coming together.

The team is one of the youngest to represent the United States in the Olympics. Though the average age of the players is 26, the team has speed and cohesion, youth with a dash with experience, confidence and, un-like the Canadians, no great expectations to drag them down.

And, oh, yes, goaltending. Canada’s Martin Brodeur may be the best in the world but he wasn’t the better goalie on the ice.

“He’s definitely the main reason why we won,” Kes-ler said of Miller. “He gave us a chance to win.”

There are connections between this U.S. team and the Miracle team of three decades ago. According to Jim Craig, the Miracle on Ice goalie, Miller wore a sham-rock on his mask in honor of Craig. There are other links to ‘80, too. Ryan Suter, who had two assists, is the son of ‘80 defenseman Bob Suter. And defenseman Brooks Orpik was named for ‘80 coach Herb Brooks.

Happy anniversary, US Olympic hockey team

tion of watching Colorado Democrats make incredible mistakes for our economy against the warnings of citi-zens, consumers, and the business community. Even as Coloradans continue to lose their jobs to the recession, Democrats have chosen government bureaucracy over the health of Colorado’s economy,” said House Minor-ity Leader Mike May, a Republican from Parker.

Greece is sizzlingSome 50,000 Greek workers took to the streets and a

few protesters threw rocks and red paint in clashes with police during the widest strike yet against the govern-ment’s austerity plan aimed at easing the country’s debt crisis.

The unrest flared yesterday amid a looming deadline for demonstrating tough cuts demanded by the Europe-an Union and fresh revelations over faulty Greek data reporting that triggered the financial turmoil.

Athens is battling to calm the crisis and European fears it could spread to other countries with troubled finances such as Portugal, Spain and Italy. Strikes grounded flights, idled cargo ships and ferries, and left commuters in Athens without most public transporta-tion. State-run schools, tax offices and municipalities all shut down and public hospitals limped by using emergency staff.

Dodd: Join us or get out of the way

President Barack Obama and congressional Demo-crats, holding out little hope for today’s televised bi-partisan summit on health care, are prepared to try for a far-reaching bill in the coming weeks without a single Republican vote. With Democrats unwilling to start from scratch, “I think it’s nearly impossible to imagine a scenario under which we could reach an agreement,” said Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., who will attend the televised six-hour meeting across from the White House.

Given such comments, Democratic leaders say they hope to persuade House Democrats to swallow their objections and approve a health bill the Senate passed on Christmas Eve. In return, Senate Democrats would have to agree to make various changes to health care laws under budget reconciliation rules, which bar GOP delaying tactics.

“Tomorrow we’ll have that meeting ... But far more important after that meeting, you can either join us or get out of the way,” Sen. Chris Dodd, D-Conn., said at a rally yesterday.

Clinton says Iran sanctions coming soon

Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton says Iran’s continuing refusal to come clean on its nuclear program has left the international community “little choice” but to impose new, tough sanctions.

In testimony to a Senate committee, Clinton said yes-

terday that Iran’s failure to accept the Obama admin-istration’s offers of engagement and prove its nuclear intentions are peaceful had given the U.S. and its part-ners new unity in pressuring Tehran to comply with in-ternational demands.

Clinton said active work was now proceeding on pre-paring and implementing new sanctions on Iran. The U.S. and others believe Iran is hiding nuclear weapons development under the guise of a civilian energy pro-gram. Iran insists that its intentions are peaceful.

Serial killer whaleA killer whale attacked and killed a trainer in front

of a horrified audience at a SeaWorld show yesterday, with witnesses saying the animal -- involved in two previous human deaths -- dragged the trainer under and thrashed her around violently.

Distraught audience members were hustled out of the stadium, and the park was immediately closed. Veteran trainer Dawn Brancheau, 40, was one of the park’s most experienced. It wasn’t clear if she drowned or died from the thrashing. SeaWorld spokesman Fred Jacobs confirmed the whale was Tilikum, one of three orcas blamed for killing a trainer who lost her balance and fell in the pool with them in 1991 at Sealand of the Pacific in Victoria, British Columbia.

Tilikum was also involved in a 1999 death, when the naked body of a man who had sneaked by Orlando Sea-World security was found draped over him. The man either jumped, fell or was pulled into the frigid water and died of hypothermia, though he was also bruised and scratched by Tilikum.

New England pummeled with snow

A powerful winter storm dumped a foot or more of snow in the Northeast yesterday, knocking out power to thousands and stalling air traffic from Boston to Phila-delphia, all ahead of a second system packing strong winds that could blanket the area with another foot of snow.

The storm cut a swath from eastern Pennsylvania into northern New England, slamming typically snowy regions that had been spared the paralyzing storms that hit cities farther south earlier this winter. About 150,000 customers lost power Wednesday, hundreds of schools were closed and at least three traffic deaths were blamed on the storm.

The system was the first of a 1-2 winter punch. An-other storm forecast to hit Thursday is expected to pack winds of up to 50 mph, which could cause more power outages, and dump a foot or more of snow on some ar-eas by Friday. Meteorologists said some areas of New York’s Adirondack and Catskill mountains and Ver-mont’s Green Mountains could get as much as 2 feet by the weekend

You, Only Betterdowntown Port-au-Prince, power has returned to near-ly half the city’s neighborhoods. Most, however, are in the hilly southern suburbs, which look down at night on the miles of near blackness where most of the quake-rendered homeless abide in teeming tent cities.

Even before the Jan. 12 quake, electrical service in Haiti meant an average of 10 hours of power a day de-livered by a rickety grid to just a quarter of the popula-tion — not even half of them paying customers.

If Haiti now hopes to shake off its status as the Western Hemisphere’s poorest nation, experts say, it will need to build a power system far better than the highly subsidized, cash-hemorrhaging utility it had before the disaster.

Toyota says I’m sorryUnder blistering criticism, Toyota President Akio

Toyoda personally and repeatedly apologized to Con-gress and millions of anxious American car-owners yesterday for deadly defects in popular models pro-duced by his Japanese company. But angry lawmakers forcefully declared it was hardly enough.

“Where is the remorse?” scolded Rep. Marcy Kap-tur, D-Ohio. And Republican John Mica of Florida held aloft what he called an “absolutely appalling” Toyota report bragging of defusing a safety investigation. Of Toyoda’s apology, Kaptur said, “I do not think it reflects significant remorse for those who have died.” Federal safety officials have received reports linking 34 deaths in the United States to safety defects in Toyota cars and trucks over the past decade.

“I extend my sincerest condolences to them from the bottom of my heart,” responded Toyoda, grandson of the founder of the world’s largest auto company. “I’m deeply sorry for any accident that Toyota drivers have experienced.”

Google a criminal in ItalyIt seems that when it comes to letting the Web be the

Web, it could be the United States against the world.An Italian judge yesterday held three Google execu-

tives criminally responsible for an online video of an au-tistic teenager being bullied — a verdict that raises con-cerns that the Internet giant, and others like it, may be forced to police their content in Italy, and even beyond.

The reaction to the verdict in the United States was

swift and nearly unanimous in its condemnation of a dangerous precedent experts said threatens the prin-ciple of a free and open Internet.

However, Milan Prosecutor Alfredo Robledo reflect-ed a European concern with privacy when he expressed satisfaction with a decision he said protected a funda-mental right, putting the interests of an individual be-fore those of a business.

More cautious military raids promised

in AfghanistanAmerican troops knocked on the door, and before

the Afghan family could find the key to let them in, the soldiers broke it down. There was no time to take women in the home to another place, said 77-year-old Mohammad Nabi. And that’s what troubled the retired school teacher most about the intrusion in the southern town of Marjah.

“If they ask us to take our women and daughters in another place and then they do the search, we have no problems,” Nabi told an Associated Press reporter. “We will cooperate with them. But they just enter the house and start searching and they don’t care who is there.”

A new directive, confirmed Wednesday by Gen. Stanley McChrystal, aims to limit such nighttime raids on civilians. It was prompted by a storm of complaints from Afghans who, like Nabi, who were enraged over foreign soldiers bursting into their homes. The move is the most recent by coalition forces to woo the Afghan public away from the Taliban.

Why not ‘One and a Half Men’?

CBS is temporarily halting production of television’s top-rated comedy, “Two and a Half Men,” following news from Charlie Sheen’s publicist that the actor is in rehab and is taking a break from the show.

Publicist Stan Rosenfield announced Tuesday that Sheen has entered a rehab facility “as a preventative measure.” He asked for privacy for Sheen, 44, but did not specify why the embattled actor was seeking treatment.

explore new projects such as the Emmitt-Nershi Band, tonight featuring special guests Jason Carter of the Del McCoury Band and Keith Moseley also of String Cheese Incident.

“We’ve all known each other for many years. Even way before Billy was with String Cheese, he used to come see Salmon shows,” Drew Emmitt said in an in-terview with the Mountaineer yesterday. “Then when String Cheese got going, the two bands used to do shows together back in the day.

Emmitt said he and Nershi have a lot in common in terms of their roots and “the whole bluegrass thing.”

“Over the years we picked together here and there. I was invited to go on the String Cheese bus for three shows, just before they went on hiatus, to play Jackson Hole, Bozeman, Montana and Spokane, Washington,” Emmitt explained. “Billy and I were pickin’ in the back of the bus with the rest of the band and we kind of started talking about putting together a band.”

Emmitt said there are definitely some similarities be-tween his current project with Bill Nershi and the collab-oration of Jerry Garcia and David Grisman, a legendary mandolinist who is a generation or so Emmitt’s senior.

Garcia and Grisman recorded popular bluegrass al-bums such as The Pizza Tapes and Shady Grove.

“Grisman is one of my earliest influences, as well as Garcia and The Dead and I’m sure for Billy also. I’ve had the wonderful opportunity to become friends with David [Grisman] and play on stage with him a number of times. Unfortunately, I never got to play with Jerry. But, yeah, there are definitely some similarities. Billy is sort of a modern-day Jerry in the jam band world.”

Growing up in Nashville, Tenn., the heart of Blue-grass Country, Emmitt never actually got into bluegrass until he moved to Colorado and attended the Telluride Bluegrass Festival in the early 1980s. He picked up the bluegrass banjo for a while as a teenager and went on to discover the mandolin, with some encouragement from his mother, realizing that it was better suited for singing.

“I took to it right away and just loved it. I began car-rying the thing with me everywhere, and it just kind of became a part of my life,” Emmitt said.

“I’ve been playing bluegrass for – gosh – a long time, since the early ’80s. It’s always been a big part of my life, and the whole festival experience has always been a big part of my career,” he said. “It’s really nice to get back to that and get away from the drums and electric guitars for a little while and play some acoustic music. It’s really fun to rock people out that way.”

For their album “New Country Blues,” the two pick-ers wrote the music over a long weekend in Estes Park. “We wrote the songs in three days,” Drew said. “We holed up in this house and we just sat and came up with these tunes. It was a really smooth process. We bring out a lot of good things in each other musically, and we do well playing off each other.”

The duo loves playing Colorado mountain towns and they hope to do some skiing while they’re here.

“We always have a great time in playing in Vail. We did our Salmon show last year at Dobson and it was really fun. The Samana Lounge is a really great place. We’re always treated really well there; it’s always a great vibe. We love the folks in Vail.”

Karen Koenemann of Red Ribbon Project, Sheri Mintz of Bright Future Foundation, Tsu Wolin-Brown of Salvation Army Vail and Pam Melot of Miller Ranch Child Care Center, joined El Pomar board members Gerald Gallegos, Elaine Kelton, Susie Davis of the Youth Foundation and Kathy Brendza of New American School at a grant giving ceremony in which the non-profits received $46,000.

and broke her pinky. Defending gold medalist in this event and underwear entrepreneur Julia Mancuso sits in 18th.

With tough conditions that lend themselves to DNFs and being only a little over a second back, it wasn’t out of the question for Schleper to go on to medal yester-day. “She needs to have the run of her life, but she can still do it,” her dad Buzz told the Mountaineer after the first run yesterday.

For Schleper, the postponement hopefully will not disturb her pattern of throwing down a big second run, which, in other races this season, has defined her suc-cess.

Making her fourth Olympic berth, Sarah came back to the sport after a two-year hiatus due to a torn ACL and maternity leave. She’s hoping to bring home an Olympic medal, which has eluded her over her long career thus far.

They key for Schleper has been putting together sol-id back-to-back runs. (GS and slalom consist of two runs with the best aggregate time determining the win-ner.) In Lienz, Austria, with the fastest second run, she proved she could ski faster than everyone else on the World Cup.

Last night the forecast was calling for rain and snow through the night and into this morning.

Elisabeth Goergl of Austria led the opening leg in 1 minute, 15.12 seconds. Taina Barioz of France was only 0.02 behind, and Kathrin Zettel of Austria was third, 0.16 back.

It won’t be the first time an Olympic race is held over

two days.At the 2006 Turin Games, the slalom runs of the

women’s combined were held one day and the down-hill leg the next.

After this race, two more events remain on the Alpine schedule — the women’s slalom Friday and the men’s slalom Saturday.

Vonn’s pinky not the only crash victim In the very instant that Lindsey Vonn spun out of

control during Wednesday’s Olympic giant slalom, breaking a finger and ending her latest medal bid, Julia Mancuso — Vonn’s teammate and lifelong rival, not to mention the defending champion — sped toward that same spot.

As Vonn laid in the snow off to the side of a course, tangled up in blue netting like a jumbo pretzel, an offi-cial waved a yellow flag through the heavy snowflakes and dense fog to warn Mancuso that she needed to stop. Otherwise, Mancuso would risk slamming into Vonn.

“I was kind of thinking, like, ‘Is this really happen-ing?’ It was hard to kind of wrap my head around it,” Mancuso said, “just because it’s something that I would not expect, ever.”

And so it was that a rare confluence of events — aw-ful weather, shortened intervals between racers, Vonn’s crash immediately before Mancuso’s start-and-stop — conspired to bring these two together, possibly dash-ing the hopes each harbored for a third medal at these Winter Games.

Freezbee anyone? First Eagle Ice Bowl flies SundayWinter disc golf tournament a benefit for Can Do MS

You want to play disc golf in the snow, and you want to do it soon.

Luckily for you, the Eagle Ice Bowl is Sunday.Kevin Sharkey is running it, and it really is a great

idea. It’s a fundraiser for Can Do MS.The idea came from local disc golfer Jason Congle-

ton. Jason was playing disc golf in the snow with his dog, which would help Jason find a disc in the unlikely event he lost one. Since Jason’s pretty good, he hardly ever does, but the dog is happy to come along.

Anyway, Congleton mentioned it to Sharkey, who mentioned it to his wife, who works for Can Do Mul-tiple Sclerosis.

Faster than you can say, “It’s NOT a Frisbee!” a ben-efit disc golf fundraiser was born.

It’s this Sunday.

PDGADid you know there’s a Professional Disc Golf As-

sociation, the PDGA? It’s like the PGA, only without all the Tiger Woods jokes and plaid pants.

It should stand for Pretty Darned Great Activity, but it doesn’t.

You can actually make money playing disc golf,

which is another reason to love America.It turns out that Ice Bowl is an honest-to-goodness

registered trade name and this is a sanctioned event through the PDGA.

The Eagle Ice Bowl joins at least 10 other Ice Bowls around the country this weekend. Ice Bowls are even held in South America, but not generally this time of year, because it’s summer there.

Check the PDGA Web site and you’ll find that the first Eagle Ice Bowl is a sanctioned event.

Sharkey says a few Front Range professionals are coming up to play, but that snow is a great equalizer and that you shouldn’t let it slow you down.

Because they may have some fresh snow, and Con-gleton’s dog won’t be available to retrieve your disc, you might want to use a little packing tape to fasten a ribbon to your disc, Sharkey said. The ribbon might cost you a little aerodynamics and a few yards, but a disc will cost you $25 and they’re surprisingly easy to lose.

You can get discs at Sports Authority in Avon, and you need at least three – one that flies long and straight, one for middle distances and one that’s basically a fly-ing putter – and not the same way your regular golf put-

You’d do well to register online for $15, at eaglei-cebowl.com. You can take your chances and wait until Sunday, but they’re capping registration at 72 players, Sharkey said.

Form your own team, or if you register as a single player, you’ll be paired with someone.

They’re giving away more than $1,000 in prizes, in-cluding a Never Summer snowboard for a hole in one.

“If we don’t have a hole in one, we’ll raffle it. Some-one is going home with a new snowboard,” Sharkey said.

The awards ceremony is at the Dusty Boot. Denver musician Greg Gatardi is playing.
